valorous

Showing great courage

Valorous means brave or courageous, especially in battle or dangerous situations.

The word is literary and somewhat old-fashioned, evoking knights and epic deeds rather than everyday bravery: valorous warriors, a valorous stand against overwhelming odds.

It carries more grandeur than simply brave or bold.
